                                       The Significant Gesture: The Black and White Series

​

Josephine Barreiro, an artist, delves into the realm of emotions and intentions through her expressive works. Her pieces communicate through gestures, a nonverbal form of communication that employs bodily actions to convey significant messages. These gestures are often portrayed through the movement or position of the hand, arm, body, head, or face, allowing them to convey meaningful thoughts, intentions, and emotions. Barreiro's artwork features human and animal figures that display emotional and visual reactions to life experiences and interactions with people and the environment. It is essential to recognize that our nonverbal communication, which includes gestures and postures, is often the most powerful form of expression.
